Tuesday class on 2026 publishing paths, new scams, and finding your readers


Hi Reader,

Every year I teach a class for authors with updates for the new year. This year my class focuses on publishing paths, new scams, and reaching your readers.

Please join me live on Tuesday to learn and discuss:

  • how to spot publishing scams immediately
  • red flags that signal you're about to make an expensive mistake
  • how to identify legitimate publishing services
  • the publishing paths available to you in 2026
  • how to build your audience WHILE you publish (not after)

There will be plenty of time for Q&A.

Publishing paths, new scams, and reaching your readers

Register in advance to join live, ask questions, or to get the replay.

This is the kind of information that saves authors thousands of dollars and months of heartbreak.

I'll also introduce my six-week Publishing 101 master course that starts in January for authors who want a complete roadmap—marketing strategy, publishing essentials, and promotion tactics that actually work.

Whether or not you sign up for the program, the free class on Tuesday stands on its own. You'll walk away with the tools to protect yourself and make smart decisions, whether you join the January program or not.

See you on Tuesday!

Carla

Publishing 101 is designed to support you while you draft or revise, so publishing decisions don't become a confusing slog after your manuscript is finished. This program isn't about...

Hi Reader, Hey, thank you so much to those who showed up for yesterday’s conversation. I left the session energized but by the thoughtfulness and honesty you brought into the room.
